Pittsburg, July 30. -The real reason
for the murder of Stanford Vhite^q
cording to a statement made *thru a
'private detective in this city,, en
gaged on the case, is that the young
man had been cut off by his mother,
'who refused to furnish him -with credit

overtures to Thaw's young wife, as
suring her that the young man had no
prospects and would be unable to grat
*ify her expensive tastes.
When the scandal about Evelyn Nes
bit first started, Mrs. Thaw ordered the
young man to drop her or marry her.
In either event he was to remain at
home in future and have his conduct
shaped by the maternal hand. Credit
at the bank was cut off. This occa
sioned much trouble and many family
broils.
Quarreled with Mother.
Last April, after a violent financial
discussion, young Tft&w left his home
and wife and fled to ^Europe to see his
sister, the Countess of Yarmouth. She
returned with him on the same boat
and he was gone only a couple of weeks.
Another battle followed here the
we ek before Mrs Thaw left for Europe
and the young mtfri balked at the pier
and refused to cross the water. His
mother sailed alone. The following
Monday he remarked to a friend that if
he could not have the girl White would
not get her. That night he killed the
architect. _,,

Not Satisfactory, Tho:
The commission said, however, that
it may be that Peavey & Co. as grain
shippers secure important advantages
over their competitors %y~reasen of the
elevator allowances, but the Union Pa
cific is not legally at fault or-guilty
of wrongdoing because it turns out, as
an incidental result, that the persons
employed to transfer grain are thereby
aided more or less in another line of
business in which they are engaged.
Judge Itnapp closes-with a brief
statement to the effect that the -ar-
rangements of the kind investigated
are not favorably regarded, because the
relation established between the rail
road company and one of its shippers
is likely to excite distrust and to be
looked upon with suspicion. The pro
visions of the regulating statute may
not be violated, it is said, but_ the sit
uation cannot be wholly satsifactory.
The commission has called upon all
parties interested to submit arguments
and evidence on the subject. Th writ

but the oral arguments will be heard
at some time to be set after the en

if a split in the convention is forced
by Mr. Blythe, the Cummins factions
will nominate a solidly progressive
ticket and go before the people with a
platform much more radical on the sub
ject of the tariff and railroad regula
tion and railroad rates in Iowa than
would be adopted if both Perkins and
Cummins delegates participated in one
convention.
This means that Mr. Blythe and rail
road interference would be made an
issue at the polls, within the republican
party Governor Cummins has already
given.
a demonstration of what he can
0 on that issue, and it is not the belief
here that Mr. Blythe wants to submit
a "show-down" of that sort.
For this and other minor reasons it
is believed by the keenest observers
that the state committee will act as
outlined above, for the purpose of al
lowing Mr. Perkins to slide out of the
race for nomination and at the same
time add sixty votes to the anti-Cum
mins strength on the nomination of
other officers, some of which Blythe
is anxious to obtain for the stand
patters.
All but Ignored.
So far the Scott county delegation is
the only Cummins delegation from a
contested or protested county that will
appear before the state committee this
afternoon. Governor Cummins has de
clared that he will have nothing to do
with, the state committee fcearine, but
does not undertake to say what the in
dividual delegation should do.
If the state committee throws down
the false "contests" and "protests,"
making up a roll that will leave Cum

Perkins faction will be stopped from
continuing the contest before the con
vention, as they have taken the posi
tion that the state committee's decision
should be final.
Will Organize I In Any Event.
^The question was asked of one in
authority in the Cummins camp, what
would happen if the state committee
should find for Perkins on all contests,
and thereby put him in control of the
convention.
"We will organize the convention,"
he answered, "but the committee would
refuse tickets to the Cummins dela
tions thrown out on contests and pro
tests."
"That would make no difference
these delegates would take their seats

The real reason, according to the

Kansans have never been able to find
a use for them hitherto. Mr. Coburn

ascertain to what use they can be put.
In the winter he will ask the two

tempt was made last night to wreck
the Northern Express from Paris, in
order, it is said, to kill Grand Duke
Yladimir. A rail was removed, the en
gine and tender were ditched, and theLowry
engineer and fireman were killed. The
cars, however, remained on the tracks
and the passenger were uninjured.
It is reported that Russian agitators
were responsible for the attempt to
-wreck the express, owinpf to their ex
pectation that Grand Duke Vladimir
was proceeding to St. Petersburg 'on
the train. No trace of the men whowhich
committed the outrage can be found.
A dynamite cartridge is said to have
been used to remove the rail.

ALASKAN EXPENSE HIGH
BUT YOU GET YOUR MONEY'S
WORTH, SAYS CLAYTON R. COO-
LEY, JTJ3T RETURNED.
Money goes fast in Alaska, says Clay:
ton R. Cooley, deputy collector of
United States customs, who has -just
returned from a three weeks' vacation
trip which took him as far north as
Bkaguay.
"westernpeople are always good at
charging/' said Mr. Coojey today, "but
Alaskan prices besat anything you can
find on the coast. Despite this draw
back. Alaska is weH worth visiting,
and only the limited time at my dis
posal prevented my staying longer.
"At this time of the year the trip is
delightful. The wonderfully vivid, the
short-lived, Alaskan verdure is at its
best and the scenerey along the coast
and among the islands is magnificent.
Skagway is a dead tiwn, but Juneau
is.-fully alive. Just at present it is
th4 eeaHr of the territorial government,
and JU& the ^election- is only a month
away, there-is much doing.
"Those who go tot the Alaskan sea
board hoping to -see a few wild west
specimens are doome dto disappoint
ment. The conventional frontier typ*s
are entirely missing. The residents
wear their trousers outside their boots
and the most deadly weapon I saw any
one carry was a toothpick. From the
sea, Alaska does not look like a lumber
country. There are plenty of trees, but
they are small. We saw some big trees
on the islands and they told us of
heavy timber inland. It rained most
of the time I was in the north, but
despite that drawback I enjoyed my
trip immensely."
LINCOLN GIB MAKES
LAST TRIP MIG HT
The historic Linopln. car, now the
property of Thonias Lowry, will be
transferred today from the street rail
way shops at Thirty-first street and
Nicollet avenue to Columbia Heights
park, where it is to be one of the

the center of the city and the tracks
are clear, the old Lincoln car, in its
restored condition, will be hauled to
the end of the Central avenue line,
where it will be carefully transferred
to its new resting .place.
In preparation for the G. A. B. en
campment, Edmund G. Walton, Mr.

books giving the history of the did car
and 30,000 tickets of admittance for
distribution.
The Lincoln car was built at Alex
andria. Va., in 1863. and now, forty
three vears later, is one of the most
revered nelica of the martyred presi
dent. It has found a home the state

eater than Great Northern rates from
points to Chicago, like mile*
age.
He Finds Ixiaccaraciet.
ntf
The final hearing on merchandise
rates on railroads within the state of
Minnesota was begun before the rail
road commission at the dpitol today-?
There were two witnesses examined I*.
this morning, B. Campbell, fourth viced
president or the Great Northern road^A
and E. L. Patterson, a Mankato mer
chant. This afternoon waB devoted to
cross-examination of witnesses on
ground which had previously beea^
covered.
C. A. Severance, attorney for the
railroads, examined Mr. Campbell, who
devoted his remarks mainly to criti
cisms of the tabulations on rates pre
pared by the railroad and warehouse
commission.
Campbell Has Figures.
Mr.- Campbell also had some tabula
tions of his own. Prominent amonif
erowTa^d privatefo^ these was "Campbell's exhibit No. X.
showing Great Northern rates from dis
tances of 25 to 400 miles into Minne
apolis. These rates were compared with
rates on other lines, of like distances
from Nebraka points into Omaha. Kan
sas points into Kansas City, Illinois and
Iowa distance tariffs and rates to Chi
cago all on grain. These tabulations
showed advantageously for the Great
Northern. For instance, the twenty
five-mile rate on the Great Northern
into Minneapolis is 4 cents the
twenty-five-mile rate into Omaha, 8
cents: into Kansas City, 6 eents. Mr.
Campbell also asserted that Iowa rates
to Chicago are 113 to 123 per cent
4
Under the guidance of Mr. Severance,
Mr. Campbell found various inaccu
racies in a comparative table of rates
of the railroad commission that the
merchandise rate of the Great Northern
to Bound Prairie from the twins was
given as 1 cent higher than the cor
rect tariff that the rate on soft coal
per ton from Duluth to Silver Lake was
scheduled 40 cents higher than it is
that the coal rate from Duluth to Dan
vers and Bellingham is listed 5 cents
higher than the correct figures.
He maintained that the schedules on
rates per mile where a town is touched
by two lines could not be fairly com
pared with schedules where bnt one
road reaches a town, because where
there are two lines the rate is always
made to meet the short haul.
Tables Are Worthless.
Mr. Campbell practically asserted that
the railroad commission's tabulations
comparing the official classifications and
the -western lass&ficafcioxis are worfcblea*
and unfair.
"The classifications in the two are
absolutely different and uncomparable,"
said Mr. Campbell. "For instance, the
first class in the official classification is
made up of a different number of things
and different kinds of things from the
first class in the ^western Classification.
This is true thru six different classes.
For this reason, no intelligent compari
son can be made."
Mankato Man Speaks.
E. L. Patterson of Mankato, of th
Patterson Mercantile company^ succeed
ed Mr. Campbell, testifying without the
aid of an attorney. Mr. Patterson
while maintaining that the old rates ox
the railroads to and from Mankato are
too high and 'unfair, also criticised the
new schedule of rates proposed by the
railroad commission, in that they gave
the advantage to "Winona and Twin City
jobbers in selling goods to merchants
in intermediate towns, between Winona
and Mankato and the Twins and Man
kato. He made a plea that tariffs from
the cities of any size to intermediate
points be placed on an equal mileage
rato basis, that is, that the rate per
mile be kept the same from each dis
tributing point.
"Now suppose we fix rates on the
equal-mileage basis, as you suggested,"
said Commissioner C. F. Staples.'' What
is to prevent the railroads, as soon as
we get rates fixed, granting still lower
rates to certain intermediate points fa
vorable to a certain distributing cen
ter, and thus making a situation as
bad as before from the standpoint in
which you view it?"
Will Always Have Competition.
I suppose Mankato will have to bat
tle with competition in whatever form
it finds it, was the reply, "bu if
rates are put on a lower basis tham
now, there is less likelihood that the
roads will make a still greater cut to
benefit some small intermediate point."
Mr. Patterson quoted Chicago distrib
uting rates, which he believed were un
fairly low for Minnesota and Dakota
points, and which, he said, were boom
ing the business of the big Chicago
catalog houses: but the railroad com
mission admittedly could give no re
lief in that quarter, as the remedy lies
in adjustment of interstate rates.
